Easy Slow Cooker Rice Pudding is rich and creamy. It is flavored with cinnamon for a comforting family favorite!
Slow cooker rice pudding is a cinch to make, especially since it’s all done in the crock pot! My family finished off this rice and milk treat so fast that next time I’ll be making a double batch. Be sure to also try Bread Pudding, Easy Rice Pudding, and Sticky Toffee Pudding.
Slow cooker for the win!
Cooler temperatures are upon us, and at my house that means it’s time for comfort food! Rice pudding has always been a favorite of all of my kiddos. They love it for breakfast, snacks, and dessert (we even have a Mexican Rice Pudding recipe too!)
In the past, I have always used the traditional method of making rice pudding, which requires cooking and stirring in a pan on the stovetop. I decided to try a slow cooker rice pudding recipe. To tell the truth, I was pretty skeptical. I wasn’t sure it would turn out as nice and creamy as my regular recipe.
Fortunately, it turned out great and was beyond simple!!
crockpot Rice Pudding
To make slow cooker rice pudding, you just add all the ingredients (rice, evaporated milk, milk, sugar, butter, vanilla, cinnamon and salt).
COMBINE & COOK. Whisk this together in the slow cooker and cook for the following:
- HIGH for 2-3 hours
- LOW for 4-5.
Tips, Variations + SToring Info
I cooked mine on HIGH for 2 hours and 45 minutes, and it was perfect. Just a few tips:
- You shouldn’t have to stir the mixture, but we did (just to be safe) half way through cooking
- Grease your crockpot with butter, spray with cooking spray, or use a slow cooker liner to prevent the pudding from sticking to the sides. Cleaning up will be a breeze!
- Rinse your rice in some cold water before adding it to the crockpot. This extra step can help the consistency of your pudding to come out a little smoother.
- If you would like your pudding to turn out lighter in color, wait to add the cinnamon until right before you are ready to serve it.
Variations:
- Add more cinnamon on top when serving if you like the cinnamon taste
- Add raisins or nuts to the mixture if you like those too
STORE rice pudding in a plastic container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove.
To FREEZE, leftover rice pudding store it in a Ziploc freezer bag and when you are ready to use it, defrost it in the fridge overnight. It will keep well for about 3 months.

This delicious rice pudding made me cry as it brought me back to my childhood and thoughts of my grandmother. In my family arroz con dulce is a Christmas must as far as deserts go. I have tried numerous recipes and none I tell you none have tasted this fully cooked creamy and delicious. My husband loved it so much as well. Thank you. You made my Thanksgiving.
Very delicious but sticky. Maybe leave the cinnamon out and just to sprinkle before serving.
You can totally add it on top 🙂 Thank you for letting me know!
It had really good flavor but was not creamy at all, the color was tan/light brown I guess BECAUSE of the CINNAMON, I took about 21/2 hours on high I am not sure if I will make it again or just add cooked minute rice to hot vanilla pudding ,
Could sweetened condensed milk work in this RECEIPe too?
I haven’t tried, but possibly 🙂
Is there a reason you specify plastic storage containers in your recipes? There’s no reason glass or ceramic wouldn’t work just as well, and be more healthy.
That is just what I used, but you could use whatever you like 🙂
Yummy. I love this recipe. I add raisins, coconut or chopped dates…
Perfect!! Happy you like it!
measurement for raisins..1 C?
However much you like 🙂
Can I make this recipe in individual ramekins in the crockpot for less time or make the recipe and then put into ramekins in the refrig.
I haven’t made them in the individual ramekins, but I would personally make it, then serve them in those
How big is a servinG
Around 1 cup. Could be a little more than that.
